Rifrullo Cafe - Brookline

Cafe Rifrullo has potential, but the food fell short of expectations. Dishes lacked flavor, and the Cabot in particular could benefit from bolder seasoning. Brioche would be a better choice for the French toast. While the atmosphere was pleasant and the coffee good, the prices were high for the underwhelming food.

Real Matcha latte and mushroom tarts! YumLove real flowers on tables

Cute atmosphere and the cashier was nice. they charge a fee that goes toward kitchen staff wages, which i support in principle, but it was not listed until i got my receipt emailed to me, nor was tax, so my smoothie ended up being over $15 with tip. even $12, the listed price, is insane. i was in a pinch and it was so far from worth it. the cholesterol fighter blendie tasted straight up old, like the ingredients had been sitting in the back for years, and the texture was gritty. i think they put it in an opaque cup so customers won 't be immediately put off by the speckled mud brown. tried it despite feeling it was overpriced, no way i 'm going back.

Kat made me the BEST coffee, it was SO good. Kat was so kind made me feel very welcomed! Great spot with great vibes and GREAT coffee!

Warm inviting cafe quality is number 1 you have to be patient in this place food os all real.
